I very much enjoy watching a professional musican being introduced to the brilliant of LOVEBITES for the first time.

[@boyzyu]

Taylor certainly knows his guitars and knows what he's talking about. He acknowledges awesomeness when he sees it. Keep it up Joel !

LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn？ God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) SOLO: midori / mi-ya [miyako] What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath SOLO: mi-ya [miyako] ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao from Awakening From Abyss 2017

Energetic reaction....Wonderful, loved it! 🐺

[@outwest1014]

As expected, he was blown away. Joel did you give him any background?? Like Miyako is self taught on the guitar and Midori began learning the guitar when she was 20 yo??

[@32a34a]

And as if Miyako isn't awesome enough she decided to be an awesome Pianist as well. That Helloween cover is pretty epic.

[@outwest1014]

@@32a34aMiyako began piano at 3 yo, so likely her parents were the main deciders on her learning piano. She is prodigy, so likely didn't skip her piano lessons or practice.

[@32a34a]

@@outwest1014 Very impressive for a woman who I believe is 35 now. The fact she likes Gary Moore makes me like her even more. I have heard she does Parisienne Walkways so I need to put that in my plans.

[@outwest1014]

@@32a34aI believe Miyako went into metal music because she wanted to compose music. The classical music world doesn't seem to welcome Female composers. Do you subscribe to her YT channel? The only issue I have is reading the subs as she looks into camera. So Beautiful!! Oh, she has a child now!!!

[@32a34a]

@@outwest1014 I just recently did. I heard that she had a child wasn't sure of that.

[@gitterich]

Showing the right man the right video. Very good reaction video.Taylor Roberts is a likeable musician.🤘🤘

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome! Taylor got really into it, such a cool live video too! 🤘🐺🤘Thanks Joel!

[@rainerzufall42]

Fun reaction! Taylor really knows, what he's talking about...

[@gatograto]

I just love this tune. My energizer of the day.

[@MrDportjoe]

When different vendors fly both your guitar players to LA for NAMM you are Lovebites.

[@grantnealon5101]

Good one Joel... More of the same please..

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Liked that reaction. This guy is nice. He obviously also are knowing what he talks about.

[@allenhuling598]

Awesome, Joel.....getting the word out!! Keep up the good work!🤘

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

Nice, I LOVE Taproot, always have, have every one of their CDS, he's still lookin great!. Nice one.

[@wickeddummy]

Amazing reaction from Taylor 👍😄 Hope you will show him "Rondo of Nightmare" by BABYMETAL with the Kami Band intro, I'm sure he will love the solos and the whole performance 🙂

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Nightwish to LOVEBITES to the maids? Good work, Joel!

[@Greg-om2hb]

Now, that’s how you open a show! It gets better every time I hear. Kudos for calling out the HANNEMAN/KING influence in MIDORI’s solo.

[@dg3258]

You the man Joel. Don't know about you but Lovebites live is bucket list for me. Really hope they make it to Boston next year! Keep spreading the word! Taylor knows great musicians when he sees them! 🤘

[@mmcpa]

I'm going to Atlanta from Boston next September. Not missing their first ever concert in the states.

[@jerryajc]

[@TheCyberMantis]

It's interesting to see how many of these dudes have never heard of these bands. They are so busy doing their own thing... they don't stop to look around and see what else is going on. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not. You can either get inspired or discouraged real quick. 😆

[@rainerzufall42]

I thought, I knew, what was going on, but I still found LOVEBITES (& Co.) very very late (this year)... I blame the music industry and national frontiers!

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@rainerzufall42 We have the internet! It's the best way to discover new bands! Sometimes, it's the only way.

[@rainerzufall42]

@@TheCyberMantis I use the Internet. Still I needed a reactor (searched for Pink Floyd, Queen, Kate Bush, etc.) to show me LOVEBITES (via notification). I tried and was stunned. Then, there's the difference between Internet (here: KZbin) and the real world. LOVEBITES (and the other Japanese bands) are much more popular here, than they are outside. This is just a projection of what the popularity may be in some months or years!

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

@@TheCyberMantis Absolutely true. The internet makes it a lot easier and quicker today, to promote any band (as management), and to discover a new band (as an interested person). In Lovebites' case, they also need word of mouth by their fans, it seems to me. It reminds me of the 1980s, when e.g. Iron Maiden came up and had to show themselves to the Metal world, live show by live show, tour by tour. They also had radio play then, but as they also wrote longer songs, the had far less radio play than other bands. So, in Maiden's case, in those early days, most of their promotion was word of mouth by their fans. Being a Metalhead, I thought, that I knew, what was going on in the Metal world, and I even watched "Top 10 best Metal bands" overview videos, and so on. But Lovebites and Nemophila were listed and introduced _nowhere_ . It took 2-3 reaction videos from a KZbin reactor whom I trusted, to get my attention, and to fall in love with both bands. That was about 4 months ago.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

@Mantis - it is not easy. There are som many good things out there. There is probably lots of stuff you never have heard of. Totally kick ass stuff. Those Japanese rock and metal bands are spread by reaction channels. Also bands like the Mongolan band "The HU". And Taiwanese drummers like "Vela Blue" and "S White". And South Korean gems like "Crayon Pop". You might, or you might not be interested. But, my point is - there are stuff out there. BTW - have you heard of "SEIKAMA II" ? They rock. Maybe you have, maybe you have not - it is almost the phase of the moon if you have. So, of course bands like Lovebites might be missed by most people. We have to change that, have we not? Joel here is doing a great job at that!

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

Awesome reaction, thank you so much! It is soo exciting and heartwarming to see, when people just know how to appreciate masterpieces of art. 😊🥲 It is so encouraging to experience Lovebites delivering Metal excellence, to experience how far Metal can go, and what it can do for/to us, in a world full of mediocrity. Long live Lovebites, and long live Nemophila! 🐺💮

[@TomClark-Futoura]

The “Superfecta” of Progressive Hard Rock, Hard Rock Trio, Progressive Groove Metal, and Power Metal: Band-Maid, The Warning, Jinjer, and Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘 Thx, Joel and Taylor!

[@glenkelley6799]

Your going to break his brain; first Lovebites, then Band-Maid, carry on with Hanabie and Nemophila .

[@pinoypower69]

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

How can you not like this Band Shit!!!!

Wish I could experience Lovebites for the first time, again.. Have you done nemophila and band-maid yet?

[@jefffromchicago6321]

I like the way he said he really sucks. Now I have to listen to him. Does he have a degree in marketing?

[@joelroadie]

Lol

That was fun , awesome reaction guys

[@scottfield5849]

Hey Sir! While I *dearly* love Band-maid, of the "Holy Trinity of Japanese Female Metal", it's pretty clear tgat Lovebites is the most arena-ready. So it's crazy that they've never toured the US! (I think...) Thanks for helping get the word out - for all three. I could totally see these ladies opening for Maiden or something. Rock on! 🤘😎👍

Great reaction.

[@johnpaul4784]

[@JanneBernards]

This song is way more thrash than it is Maiden, so are several other of their songs. I always forget the name but one of their older songs has a riff that could be straight off a Slayer album.

[@lawrencegambrell4293]

Taylor looks like he hated this song...Hahaha
